68 vet motion? vin # 194378S423906

This car came from a car museum in eastern Pa. around scranton wilksboro area and was owned by a Mr. Riley. Yhis was from the second owner and he said this car has 500 hp. This car was sent out to be modified and it appears to be a motion modification or a great clone. Tried to contact Mr. Rosen but no answer to my emails. Anyone know this car? tims photobucket

------jtb,,,If I was a betting man I would bet that all the body modifications on this Corvette are Ecklers peices. I have seen them all before in the Ecklers catalogs and on cars for years. The only thing not Ecklers is the filled headlight holes. Not a bad day-2 Corvette but not Motion. That may be why Rosen didnt get back to you, although he should have.......Bill S

I also have seen in the 67- 69 range that motioo built alot of customer specs and that no two are alike. the mods are extremely typical of motion. there are three vets on his site that have these mods and I have seen the ecklers style and these are different. a few people have seen them and said they are extremely well done. If a high end car collector would send out to NY to have them done don't u think it would have been joel! Plus the engine has his style of mod. thanks for ur comments just look closer.

Look at the white motion vet on there site and it looks right on. If u noticed the fender wells are modified too. there are other vets that have these exact mods. but not all on one vet. What I need is a good lead on that Mr. Riley and that car museum or collection. I really like to hear ur comments and tap ur expetize. Thanks again!! can u get me proof of these other mods that are the same?

-----jtb,,,Im not calling you out or anything. Im just going by some fairly deep experience. I just Googled anything to do with Joe or Motion and spent twenty minutes looking for the website you are referring to and couldnt find it. Can you start by letting us in on that??? The pictures I did see of 68/69s had virtually none of the modifications that are done to yours. I know for a fact that the rear spoiler is Ecklers. There have been so many different wheel-lips available over the years that Im not willing to say whose they are. Other than those two things and the filled headlight holes there are no other body mods. No reversed scoops, no rear window, no tail-light mods, no hood mods!!! I agree that every Motion Vette was different but as far as Im concerned this (very nice) Corvette of yours doesnt show us enough Motion type mods to make the leap. With paperwork, maybe.......Bill S
